A wrongful death trial usually involves a plaintiff who has lost a loved one who provided some form of financial assistance to the plaintiff. This is a method by which a person goes to court to ask for damages associated with the death of someone who provided some form of financial support. Perhaps the deceased person was a spouse who brought in a significant portion of the family"s income, and now that he or she has passed away the money has stopped coming in.

The deceased might also be a parent who completely supported a child, and so the wrongful death charges are brought up on behalf of the child who now has no support from a parent. These are just a couple of instances where a wrongful death suit might be brought to court, and there are countless other possible avenues of relief.
